Michigan Gov Candidate Pleads Guilty To Riot Charges

July 27, 2023 Republicans, Trump cultists

NBC News reports:

Former Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Ryan Kelley pleaded guilty to a federal crime on Thursday in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Kelley pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of entering and remaining on restricted grounds, admitting that he “rushed past U.S. Capitol police officers and started climbing the northwest scaffolding” and began gesturing to the crowd below by waving his hand towards the stairs leading up to the U.S. Capitol building.”

He also “used his hands to support another rioter who was pulling a metal bike rack onto the scaffolding,” a plea agreement document said. Judge Christopher R. Cooper accepted Kelley’s plea deal and set his sentencing for Oct. 17 at 2 p.m.
